I am just not sure what to think of this story. I was expecting something more from it. Something a little twisty and turny. Something a little more suspenseful.

This book started out pretty good. Then, at some point, it just slowed down and drug. I had to force myself to keep going in hopes it got better.

There were a few twists, which really just pieces of information we get here and there throughout the story to make us second guess what really happened.

This book really wasn't my cup of tea. It was pretty monotonous. It didn't have any suspense. It is just a story about a group of teenagers... and one of them is a murderer. And the ending. Even for fiction, it was a little over the top.

I normally love Natasha Preston but this book just fell short for me. I had to DNF since I just couldn’t get into it.

Just wow is all I can say about this book. Murder mysteries are some of my favorite books to read and this one just takes the cake. Throughout the book, it is nearly impossible to truly grasp who did it and weirdly enough, I loved that. And the end- my god. This ending may just be one of the best I've ever read as well as the most frustrating. The fact that no sequel is planned is literally criminal.

Villain speech at the end: ✔
I was actually not very amused with the ending but at least this was a very entertaining and fast read for me.

This reminded me of the Christopher Pike books I read as a teen. It was fun, like a murder filled soap opera. I hated the ending but enjoyed it over all.
